IT is impossible To state when the
people will have an opportunity to see
the laws passed by the late session of
the legislature. Probably nothing will
be seen of them in book form in less
than three months. The bill providing
for their publication in the newspapers
was killed, it is alleged TO give the see
retary an opportunity to make a specu
lation by furnishing certified copies Of
laws. some very important changes
were made in the laws. changes which
should be known at once that they
might be complied with. The legisa-
ture could not have appropriated money
III any better way than TO have passed
that DILL for he immediate publication
of the laws.

Newfoundland has changed its mind
When the Dominion confederation was
formed it refused to join it, thinking it could
get along better by itself. But it has not
prospered. The Canadian tariff has hurt its
trade, and the fishing industry has frequent
ly failed to furnish adequate support for the
population. Now Newfoundland wants to
get into the confederation. But Sir Charles
Upper objects. He thinks if the island gets
in the Dominion will have to support its pop
ulation. So Newfoundland is unhappy.

WATERFORD, Ten, Feb. 25.-Judge
H. P. league of the drouth committee
was in the city to-day for the purpose of
meeting representative men from Hood
county, for the purpose of ascertaining
the extent of actual destitution in that
county. The County Judge, County Com
missioners and other citlz ms were here
and made report to the Judge, on which
he gave them a check on the State
Treasurer for $1,000 for the present
needs. Judge league stated to the
GAZETTE correspondent that the cores
pendent of the Dallas Morning News at
Abilene made serious mistake in his re-
port IS appeared in the special from Abb
leHe in to-days News, as the special stated
that the Judge had been to that place and
made an Investigation and found that
there was no actual restitution in that
county, but he gave check to the Coun-
ty Judge for $50 for purchasing seed
with. This the Judge says is q gross
mistake, as the amount proportioned to
hat place was to relieve actual destitu-
ton and nothing else, as the appropria-
ton provides for nothing except actual
need for food.

pared to enter the contest either 20 at
tack or defend the proposed amendments
to the road law.
PROBING THE MATTER TO THE BOTTOM
Mr.. Gresham probed to the bottom of
the railroad question in the House. He
minutely explained all the details
connected with the workings of the
great railroad system. Taking the
cost of construction, then the average
length of time that the cross-ties, iron
and steel rails and rolling stock would
last, he demo: strsted to the members the
fact that every line of railroad in Texas
would have to be rebuilt, or in other
words, replaced with new material every
ten years.
ferring to the large profits that rail
roads We're supposed to make, and
the extortions that they were &C
cused of by the supporters of
the bill, he said that few of
the stockholders of any road realized on
their investments before the expiration
of ten years, and in spsrsely settled por-
tions of the state they we're systemat-
